The Strike Comm ittee Reports

Washington. March 5.-The Curtin COM
mittee made Its report on the western
strikes to-day and is devoted chiefly to the
Missouri Pacific strike. IL will be found
in the evidence that there were grievances
OF which the labOrers and wOrkmen of the
roads had Just reason to complain, and
these may have extended or enlarged the
strike. The general oppression or grew
ances complained of was generally by
suboriinates, who had power over certain
laborers or persons employed on the road.
Noticeably, they were asked to work more
hours than were contracted for; they were
reduced in their time without notice :;
they were carried by the railroads in the
night, without provision being made
whereby they could obtain sleep, t. make
repairs Of bridges or on part of roads which
had been destroyed by accident, or they
were not allowed pay for travelling at night
and ia some instances even were not given
transportation on the road back to their
home. These grievances were to a great
extent unhappy incidents to dispute lead
ing to strikes. 1t is slso shown that the
Texas and Pacific company had what is
known as a "Black list" which contained
the names Of some OF the persons BY no
combination of capital or to no extent of
incorporated power can the enlisting of an
American citizen as unworthy of employ
ment, be justified. Having cited to The
express provision of the constitution au-
thorizinZ congress to regulate commerce
among the states, We need bat refer to the
statute enacted, protecting post roads and
the regulating of commerce upon the high
seas and the nayigable rivers, in defining
the duties, obligations OF and penalties
fixed therein is proof that ample power to
control and regulate so far as interstate
commerce is involved, as vel as the rights
and duties Of the employer as of the en-
ploye, therein exists, and has been and
may be further exercised. This is an
unanimous report. but it must be remem-
bered that all legislation is the result of
and therefore individual
of the committee reserve the
right to differ from some Of the conclu-
sions. A statement attached to the report
shows that the expenses of the inves.igs-
ion aggregated $4,000.

Interstate Commissioners.

Washington, March colonel William
X. Morrison, Judge Cooley, of Michigan,
and General Bragg, of Alabama, have been
offered and have accepted places on the
commerce commission. Judge Cooley is at
system, and only yielded to accept the COM
missionership on the earnest request of the
president. This leaves but two places to
be filled on the commission. 1t is said
that on the selection of the other republic
can member, Judge Cooley gill be coun-
seled. Gen. j. HI. Wilson, formerly Of the
West, but now of Delaware, is believed to
be the one most favored by the president,
while Herman, Of New York, is said to be
the fifth man.

TO interstate railroad commissioners
within a reasonable time after their ap-
pyintment is announced.

A CHICAGO WRETCH.
Lawrence KruZ is Arrested For
Poisoning Five
Women.
Three of Whom Were His Wives,
And One HIS Step
Daughter.

Chicago, March 1.-The poisoning Of
another woman, making FIVE in all Is to-
night alleged against LAWYER Kruz, who
lies in the county Jail suspected OF murder
ing three wives and a step-daughter. The
supposed fifth victim is Gunda SchOepner,
a pretty l9-year-old daughter of X uZ's
first wife's sister. After much consultation
Gunda's relatives and friends to-day de-
cided TO ask an investigation by the county
physicians. According 10 their statements
Gunda was close companion of her I'M
fortunate cousin, Lucy Heildelmeye-, the
step daughter, whose death caused the
arrest Of Kruz At the funerals which
Gunda was present as a
near relative. Each time
Lucy H. idelmeger was shocked by pro-
posal of Kruz even before the funerals of
the dead were completed. The propo- ais
were made in the presence of numerous
witnesses. AT the first advances Gunda
made no effort to conceal her aversion for
kruz, but continued to maintain her com-
partnership for Lucy.
About the time of Lucys death, a num-
Der Of weeks ago, Gunda fell i'll with a
similar complaint, and, although given the
best medical aid, her mysterious ailment
is yet unconquered. While she has raj
lied somewhat during the past few DAYS.
the girl is in a critical condition. Her
friends express the belief that Kruz pois-
Oned herou. of pure malignity in revenge
for the open contempt with which she
treated him. KruZ's other four victims
had assigned their life insurance to him,
but in Gnnda's case no merceuary motive
is apparent. DIR. Gerfeldt, who has been
in attendance upon GundH declines to
talk upon the matter.

The people do not want unfriendly
Legislation toward our railroads. They
are our great business arteries, and to
stop or retard the uninterrupted flow,
is to drive emigration, manufactures,
capital enterprises of all kinds, and
business to other states. 1t is the cry
of the. country to legislate so as to
help the people, instead of hurting.

She says that twenty or thirty young
and well-dressed members of the
fashionable Chicago society have as
sailed her house at midnight, broken
the windows with stones and howled
and sung in derision of herself and
her deeds. But Miss Van Zandt
should not denounce such demonstra-

DEFEATED BUT NOT CON.
QUERED.

The defeat of the capital removal
question was in direct opposition to
the will ofthe people, and no expla-
nations or arguments can be adduced
by the members of the Thirty-fourth
general assembly to prove otherwise.
Lying appeals were sent out by the
residents of Jefferson City, misrepre-
sensations were d stributed broadcast,
and no scheme that ingenuity could
invent, CT cunning back, was spared
to keep the people from having a
voice in this important matter.
1t is no wonder that such handi-
Gaping rOuses spirit of Indignation
and that the determination is stronger
than ever to have the matter brought
before the people before it is definitely
settled.
The people are Disguised with the
misuse of the states funds in appro-
priations for the repair of a building
which was erected fifty years ago and
has fallen into decay, and two years
from now, it will be in no uncertain
voice that the pc pie will demand
that the question shall be submitted
-----------------------=
When the people take time to think
over the brilliant arguments which
Gen. Mcintyre presented as reason
for allowing the capital to remain at
Jefferson, there will be a feeling of
contempt for him which even he, with
all his aplomb will hardly be able to
contend with. The very idea of an
entire state, like Missouri, being silenc-
ed in this important matter, because
people had bought lots in Jefferson
City and the capital is all that makes
them worth anything" is nothing more
than sheer gall, meant to make the
many subserve to the interests Of the
few. What do the people Of Missouri
care whether Jefferson City people
have bought lots" in the old berg,
or camped out, the question does not
hinge on this matter at all, but
rather on accessibility, the need of a
progressive state capital the improper
use of the states funds in making
appropriations and dozens of other
things. The plea put up by Gen.
Mcintyre should probably earn him
an extra dish of rabbit soup, it
should also earn him the cOntumely |
ofpeople who believe it is their right
to have a voice in that which so
vitality concerns them.

Profits of Dried Anricnts

A prominent fruit-grower recently re-
ceived from Chicago an account of sales of
dried apricots. They were sold in that
mar ket for % cents pound. He could
probably have sold many thousand pounds
more at the same price When the COM
missions and freight were deducted, il left
him as a net result about Il cents a pound
for his dried aprieots. This is about equal
to 81 cents a pound for the green fruit,
which Is about 90 per cent. more than the
ruling price paid at the canneries last
year. This result sustains the opinion ex-
pressed in this paper many months ago
that the true way to avoid gluts in the
local market, both here and on the other
side of the country, is TO dry all the sur
plus fruit. In the instance here quoted
the fruit-gro9aer had bleached his fruit bv
a very simple process. He sent it to mar
ket in good order. Now, if the fruit
grower can obtain better results By driving
his fruit be viii finally adopt that method.
1t involves extra work and considerable
care and skill But in the instance cited
there WAS this special advantage: The
apricots were soft-they would not bear
transportation. He could not have sold
that fruit at II cents pound-Saa Jose
